A friend of mine asked me to make her an owl camera lens buddy for her new photography business, so I worked this little guy up. He would also be great on the end of a baby bottle, I think. It's only a simple little pattern, but I thought I'd share it in hopes that it would help someone out. I wrote it down as I went along, but have not made a second one to test it out so please, if you find any errors or have any questions, let me know.

You may not sell or claim this
pattern as your own.
You may, however, share the pattern freely and sell any items you make using
this pattern, all that I ask is that you give me credit as the designer with
the info above.
Thank you for respecting my copyright.
Please enjoy!

My, how time flies! A great big "Thank You" to those who have kept in touch with me through your comments (which, just so you know, I work hard to always answer as quickly as I can!), those who still follow along here at my blog (even though I don't post as much as I once did) and also to those who have come on over to my Facebook page and followed me there! For those of you who didn't know yet, I have indeed started a Facebook page to share all things creative...a companion for my blog, if you will. I am able to post a little more frequently there, so I'd love it if you would click through and "Like" and "Follow" me there!

It is a beautiful crisp Autumn morning here in Tennessee. As I was sitting here in my big, comfy chair, drinking my yummy coffee, in my Autumn mug no less...

...and looking out my window at the beautiful red and gold leaves blowing in the soft breeze as they mingle with what remains of the green leaves of the warm seasons, sneaking in a few rows of knitting on a baby blanket I am making...

...I was thinking of you and thought it was high time that I peeked in to say "Hi."

Don't you just love the feel of the yarn running through your fingers as you knit and/or crochet? ...and getting lost in the rhythm of working the yarn with your needles and/or hook. Man, it just doesn't get much better than that!

That is, except for holding your brand new granddaughter! May I introduce you to the newest member of the family, Little Miss Audrey!

I am so in love with her!

Well friends, I thank you for allowing me to share with you. I hope that you have an amazing and blessed Sunday!
